Background
George Quayle Cannon (1827-1901) was a Mormon publisher and attorney who lent travel
necessaries to Salt Lake City emigrants. He was later part of a delegation that
petitioned the U.S. government for Utah statehood (1872), subsequently serving Utah
Territory in the U.S. House of Representatives (1872-1880) until barred from his seat for
practising polygamy. [Ms2.C226]
